Congratulations, you've done a few Harolds in level 4 focussing on the beats! Up until now you've relied on prescriptive group work to bolster your long form. Now it's time to learn how to organically create show openings and group games/scenes with clear patterns and rules to meaningfully contribute to the Harold.

You'll learn how to communicate and collaborate to create thematically rich openings, and find fun patterns and games as a whole team in your group games

In this level you'll still be performing full Harolds, so you'll keep up plenty of scene work reps as you go.
